 Grove Street Cemetery - Timothy Dwight Commemoration
Her influence and example can be gauged by Dwight's statement at age 55: "All that I am and all that I shall be, I owe to my mother." Around six Timothy entered a local grammar school where he was determined to study Latin and succeeded although his father initially forbade it as premature.
In 1795, Dwight became president of a college that had a number of routine problems and, what was far worse from his point of view, a student body that rejected authority, took pride in expressing advanced European thought and declared their contempt for Christianity.
Dwight explained to him that no available American had sufficient knowledge to be appointed professor, and "a foreigner, with his peculiar habits and prejudices, would not feel and act in unison with us...however able he might be in point of science..." Silliman accepted, but prudently took time to be admitted to the Connecticut bar.
